Chapter 3977: Rivalry “In my eyes, you’re just as useless as them,” Duan Ling Tian said. At the same time, his energy surged as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Zhen Ping Fan’s jaw dropped upon hearing these words. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s surging made him worry that Duan Ling Tian would suddenly attack Wanqi Hong. At the same time, both Wanqi Hong and Wanqi Jue’s expressions changed immediately as well. Similarly, their energy surged. Wanqi Jue’s energy was particularly terrifying. Wanqi Jue’s expression was extremely dark as he said, “Brat, are you seeking death?” “Senior Uncle Wanqi,” Zhen Ping Fan called out at this moment. He felt that if he did not step in now, Duan Ling Tian might provoke Wanqi Jue into attacking him. He continued to say, “Duan Ling Tian is very used to being called a prodigy. He’s very talented so he finds anyone who’s not as talented as him useless. In fact, he doesn’t have any bad intentions at all.” As soon as Zhen Ping Fan spoke, the members of the Pure Yang Sect, who had been worried about Duan Ling Tian’s safety, felt speechless again. Was Zhen Ping Fan trying to aggravate the situation or was he really trying to help Duan Ling Tian? His words clearly worsened the situation. At this time, the Hidden Sword faction’s Nirvanic Elder moved to stand next to Duan Ling Tian before he said calmly, “Elder Wanqi Jue, my master owes Duan Ling Tian a favor. Although I don’t know what favor it is, he has once said that he’ll kill anyone who threatens Duan Ling Tian’s life to return the favor. This includes intermediate Emperors of Gods.” Wanqi Jue’s expression changed drastically upon hearing these words. Then, he bellowed, “Ye Tong! Are you threatening me?” Ye Tong, the Nirvanic Elder from the Hidden Sword faction, was also the disciple of Ye Chen Feng, the founder of the Hidden Sword Sect. As such, he knew who Ye Tong was. Ye Tong smiled indifferently and said, “I dare not, Elder Wanqi Jue. I’m just giving you a reminder to avoid unnecessary trouble.” Wanqi Jue scoffed coldly. Although his gaze was cold when he looked at Ye Tong, he did not continue with the topic. After all, Ye Chen Feng was even more terrifying than Zhen Yun Feng. Even the other two Golden Seat Elders and the Clan Leader of the Wanqi clan agreed that Ye Chen Feng was one of the two strongest people in the Pure Yang Sect. Zhen Yun Feng was perhaps the third strongest in the Pure Yang Sect at most. He was already afraid of Zhen Yun Feng, let alone Ye Chen Feng. Although he was older than Ye Chen Feng, age did not play a part in determining one’s strength. ... Wanqi Jue also did not doubt Ye Tong’s words not only because he knew Ye Tong was Ye Chen Feng’s disciple, but also because he knew Ye Tong had great respect for Ye Chen Feng and would not lie about anything related to Ye Chen Feng. Wanqi Jue’s expression soured even more when he shifted his gaze back to Duan Ling Tian. His voice was incredibly icy as he said, “I’ll let you off the hook today for the sake of Zhen Yun Feng and Ye Chen Feng. Otherwise, even if I don’t take action, I’ll let my great-great-grandson teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders.” In other words, Wanqi Jue implied that if he were to attack Duan Ling Tian, it would be considered an elder bullying a junior. However, it would be different if his great-great-grandson took action. Hence, even Zhen Yun Feng and Ye Chen Feng would not be able to criticize him. Seeing that his great-great-grandfather had no choice but to back off, Wanqi Hong’s expression darkened even more. He stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly as he asked in a low voice, “Duan Ling Tian, did you call me useless?” “Isn’t it true?” Duan Ling Tian retorted. Clearly, he had no intention of giving in and was intent on provoking Wanqi Hong. He continued to say, “I’m not even 3,000 years old, but I’m already an intermediate Lord of Gods. Before turning 4,000 years old, I’m certain I’ll become an advanced Lord of Gods. As for you, you’re almost 10,000 years old, but you’ve only become an advanced Lord of Gods. Isn’t that useless?” Duan Ling Tian’s words caused Wanqi Hong’s face to turn red in anger as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes like knives. Needless to say, the other members of the Wanqi clan were furious as well. They really wondered how Duan Ling Tian survived to this day with his arrogance. They thought it was truly a miracle that he managed to survive up until now. The members of the Pure Yang Sect were also stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s behavior. They did not expect Duan Ling Tian to fearlessly provoke Wanqi Jue, Wanqi Hong, and the Wanqi clan. ‘Duan Ling Tian, you’re seeking death…’ Naturally, there were also people from the Pure Yang Sect who rejoiced at what they perceived to be Duan Ling Tian’s impending misfortune. One of them was Lan Xi Lin from the Zheng Ming faction. He could not wait for Duan Ling Tian to get into trouble. He would be even happier if Duan Ling Tian was killed. Alas, he knew that it was unlikely for Duan Ling Tian to lose his life. At the same time, Yu Chang Lian, the elder from the Seven Kills Valley, looked at Zhen Ping Fan in shock as he asked through Voice Transmission, “Elder Zhen, did you teach Duan Ling Tian to be so rude?” Yu Chang Lian subconsciously thought that it had to be Zhen Ping Fan who taught Duan Ling Tian how to provoke Wanqi Jue and Wanqi Hong. Although he knew that it was part of the plan to provoke Wanqi Hong and Wanqi Jue, he thought that this was crossing the line. He wondered if Zhen Ping Fan was truly not worried that Wanqi Jue would target and kill Duan Ling Tian in the future. After all, Wanqi Jue was not a pushover and was very vengeful as well. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 The corners of Zhen Ping Fan’s lips twitched when he heard Yu Chang Lian’s Voice Transmission. He wanted to deny it, but in the end, he did not respond. After all, if he denied it and Yu Chang Lian spread word of it, Wanqi Jue would definitely target Duan Ling Tian in the future. ‘Why didn’t I realize Duan Ling Tian is so arrogant? Even I think he’s too arrogant now and asking to be taught a lesson…’ Zhen Ping Fan thought to himself, feeling rather speechless. Initially, he had been worried that Duan Ling Tian might not know how to provoke Wanqi Jue and Wanqi Hong. After all, if Duan Ling Tian failed to provoke them, their plan would fail. Who knew that Duan Ling Tian would go above and beyond in provoking them? Wanqi Hong’s eyes turned red in anger, and his body trembled as well. However, Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “And, even if we disregard your age… Wanqi Hong, you’re still just like trash that became an advanced Lord of Gods in my eyes. ” Duan Ling Tian’s words successfully and completely ignited Wanqi Hong’s anger like a spark lighting up a powder keg. He said, burning with anger, “Duan Ling Tian, what do you mean by this? You think I, who have been an advanced Lord of Gods for 100 years, am not a match for you, who’ve just become an intermediate Lord of Gods two years ago? Do you really think that you’re stronger than I am?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was calm as he nodded and said, “Not bad. Although you’re useless, you’re quick to catch on. I guess you’re not completely stupid.” Suddenly, Wanqi Hong, who had lost control of his anger earlier, calmed down after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, he said with a mocking smile on his face, “You think you’re better than me? In that case, do you dare to fight me? You won’t retreat like a coward, right? After all, you just said that I’m not as strong as you are in front of so many people. Of course, you can also take back your earlier words.” Then, Wanqi Hong took a step forward. His robe fluttered in the wind, and his temperament was majestic as he said, “Today, in front of so many elders, I, Wanqi Hong, a member of the Wanqi clan, challenge the Pure Yang Sect’s Duan Ling Tian to a duel.” Wanqi Hong decided to directly challenge Duan Ling Tian since he knew he was at a disadvantage in a war of words. Duan Ling Tian claimed that he was weaker, giving him a chance to challenge Duan Ling Tian. He was absolutely certain he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian, after all. With his victory, not only would he be able to save his great-great-grandfather from embarrassment, but he would also be able to preserve his dignity. Otherwise, if news spread that nothing was done after Duan Ling Tian provoked him over and over again, he, his great-great-grandfather, and the Wanqi clan would definitely lose their pride and dignity. “Duan Ling Tian, accept the challenge!” As soon as Wanqi Hong finished speaking, the members of the Wanqi clan could no longer sit still. They jeered at Duan Ling Tian and mocked him. “Didn’t you say that you’re stronger than Senior Brother Wanqi Hong? You should prove it then!” “Duan Ling Tian, you’re all talk! We all heard what you said earlier! You claimed that Senior Brother Wanqi Hong isn’t as strong as you!” “That’s right! Now that Senior Brother Wanqi Hong challenged you, do you dare to accept the challenge? If not, it only goes to show that you’re bragging!” “If you ask me, Duan Ling Tian’s all talk!” The young disciples from the Wanqi clan were already angry, to begin with. Now that an opportunity presented itself, how could they not seize the opportunity to vent their anger? On the contrary, everyone from the Pure Yang Sect was silent. It was not that they did not want to speak up for Duan Ling Tian, but they truly did not know what to say. After all, there was no way they could shout and tell Duan Ling Tian to accept Wanqi Hong’s challenge and defeat Wanqi Hong. In their opinion, this was impossible and was no different from fantasy. Even Ye Tong, the Nirvanic Elder from the Hidden Sword faction, frowned slightly at this moment. Just as Ye Tong was about to speak up, Duan Ling Tian said, “Wanqi Hong, you want to challenge me?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were narrowed, and a faint smile could be seen on his face. “Do you dare to accept my challenge?” Wanqi Hong asked with a sneer on his face. At this time, Wanqi Jue, who was standing next to Wanqi Hong, no longer looked angry. Instead, he looked at Wanqi Hong with a satisfied smile on his face. Earlier, he also realized that it was inappropriate for him to intervene in the conflict between juniors, Although he had hinted with his words earlier, he did not say anything to Wanqi Hong through Voice Transmission. As expected, his great-great-grandson understood him and did not disappoint him. Duan Ling Tian yawned before he said lazily, “What’s there to be afraid of? However, I won’t bother to fight with trash like you unless there’s some kind of stakes involved. Otherwise, I might as well use the time to nap.” Upon hearing these words, Wanqi Hong’s sneer deepened. “What do you want?” In Wanqi Hong’s opinion, he would definitely win and obtain whatever it was Duan Ling Tian was going to use as a stake. Hence, it was impossible for him to refuse. ‘It’s finally happening…’ Zhen Ping Fan thought to himself excitedly. Outwardly, he tried to maintain his composure and reminded himself inwardly over and over again, ‘Zhen Ping Fan, calm down, calm down. Isn’t it just a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul? It’s nothing to get excited about…’ Then, Zhen Ping Fan, who was trying his best to look natural, shook his head and sighed as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, let’s forget it. There’s no hurry to fight and bet with him. It’s not too late for you to do so after the Seven Mansions Feast is over.”
